So this is an odd one. I don't usually sell knives that have any kind of heavy use on them, however I also don't usually have to scrape together funds for a new car. This is my (small) collection of spyderco para 3's. Shipping to CONUS, accepting payments via Paypal.

1. Spyderco Para 3 Mint Green Frn scales, m4 blade - $SOLD - very clean blade, there is one tiny spot that I haven't been able to remove on the blade. It seems to be a stain. Blade is at 95% of its life and is still razor sharp. Blade strongly favors show side scale, similar to the red frn para.

2. Spyderco Para 3 Black g10 scales s45vn blade - $SOLD - excellent condition knife, very clean blade, probably the cleanest of the 5 para's due to s45vn's stainless qualities. Knife has been sharpened once, by me on a worksharp precision adjust. I didn't take very much metal off and didn't reprofile, so it was more of a touch up. Edge life at 80% (pretty sharp) as it was a user and g10 scales have some very light pocket wear. Blade slightly favors the show side scale.

3. Spyderco Para 3 Orange g10 scales Rex45 blade - $SOLD - blade on this guy has stains, i am the second owner and the first owner is a friend of mine. He was starting to experiment with blade finishes and patina so he intentionally let this one stain a bit. The stains are completely cosmetic and are no deeper than the surface. The edge has been very lightly touched up by me on the worksharp. edge life is still at 90% (sharp) and will slice well. This is the only one of the 5 that does not have a box or papers. great centering.

4. Spyderco Para 3 Red Frn scales and m390 blade - $SOLD - blade on this knife is very clean, just doesn't carry the same finish as the s45vn. Edge is at 90% (sharp) and has not been touched by me, appears to be from factory. I lost the original clip for this one so it is wearing a lynch clip. blade strongly favors clip side scale, but not enough to touch or rub. Blade moves cleanly.

5. Spyderco Para 3 Gray g10 scales and Maxamet blade - $150 - my favorite of the bunch, engraved with the words "Tin Can" which was is a reference to the crap metal that gets used on zombie knives or gas station knives. I've had this knife for a year and used it plenty, yet the maxamet edge is still trucking along and as sharp as can be. This knifes edge life is probably around 85-90% so it doesnt have razor sharpness anymore but man does it slice through whatever you put in front of it. Great centering.

Thank you for looking!
